Jordan Peterson vs Feminist Interviewer

I'm sorry that you feel forced to respect people on a basic level, but I'm sure that if people kept coming up to you and addressing you to the wrong gender, not because they were making an honest mistake but just purely as a jab at you, you'd hold them to an expectation of respect as well.

I don't feel forced but Canada was trying to make it a law. My question to you is when is the line drawn? The joke was stupidly absurd and meant as a parody of some obvious ignorance. I have no problem being corrected or ask politely to refer to anyone as they request but being force to do so by any government is absurd. That was Jordan Peterson's original issue and the reason he started to get interviewed by the Media.

OK, I had to look up what you were jabbering about. I think you're referring to the attempted amendment to the Canadian Human Rights Act. It was NOT going to criminalize misgendering someone. It was going to protect gender expression from hate speeches, which, frankly, even on imgflip you see a lot of ugly examples of and depending on how your jurisdiction handles hate speech generally, I see no reason to treat hate speech against transgenders as differently from hate speech in any other instance.

But there was never any question that getting your pronouns mixed up in an innocent mistake was going to be a part of that - that was Jordan Peterson being hyperbolic and a panic-monger. It was a speculation of the worst-case scenario that was NEVER going to be legally implemented. Nobody even suggested it should be.

So, basically, what a bunch of nonsense on your part.

"To correct you, the law was intended to fine people for not using the pronoun you personally identify as, which could change at your own personal whim, defining it as hate speech not to do so and that would be publishable by a fine."

No! It wasn't! That is not correct! That is not what was in the law, that factually not the case.

And since that is at the very center of your entire argument, that pulls everything you say apart.

I agree. C-16 Bill does not declare compelled speech or force the use of correct gender pronouns. No part of the bill states it is hate speech either, I believe this is on purpose. But the Canadian Department of Justice has said the Bill will be supported by the current definitions the Human Rights Commission.

“The Tribunal found misgendering to be discriminatory in a case involving police, in part because the police used male pronouns despite the complainant’s self-identification as a trans woman. “
- Ontario Haman Rights Commission-

So they support gender identity as an individuals right to force the speech of others. It is how they will interpret and set the boundaries of the Bill that is scary. Just like the ridiculousness of the Patriot Act, others not involved in creating the laws get to decide and define what or who a threat is with no real accountability.

I fully support and will die for a persons right to be treated with fairness and equal rights including gender identification. A government should not have the power to force me to do so. I will admit that in retrospect I wish I had not put the word Transgender in the meme. It was inspired by my friend, who thinks he is funny, identifying himself as a Gay Raccoon.

Please be at peace. I respect your right hold me accountable for my bad memes, you just raised the painfully low standard of current memes.

Wow you ask for respect? I gave it. Intolerance with a double standard that is all your nonsense not mine. The lady in the interview was using a straw man argument, false dichotomy and hasty generalization. If you watch the video you will understand the joke better. I honestly never thought any person throwing up these asinine memes, yes they are ALL foolish and mostly not funny, would be so sensitive to a bad joke. It was not a statement just a joke. To correct you, the law was intended to fine people for not using the pronoun you personally identify as, which could change at your own personal whim, defining it as hate speech not to do so and that would be publishable by a fine. It was an underhanded attack on freedom of speech using hate speech as an excuse. Can you not see the slippery slope of giving government this kind of power? To not just not have free speech but to be forced to speak what the government orders. The next step is taking away our right to assemble. Peterson is saying that there has be a better way. BUT they blew his comment out of proportion, had tantrums, put words in his mouth and had extreme over reactions just like most of his interviewers. Now address me as your Big Daddy Supreme Overlord ! Or be fined. In the future it will be law soon anyway if people like you have anything to say about it. Or lets not draw the line and make it illegal for you to say I am “jabbering”. You do not care about my meme it could say anything. You just want someone you think is less intelligent than you to pick on to ease your own pain. I am sad for you because you don't even know you are what you hate.

The liberals need safe names and a safe place

Precisely.

From what, some big black dog's dick pic you meme about?

The dog's name is Richard but most call him DIck.
